Sandy Denny Fotheringay
How often she has gazed from castle windows over
And watched the daylight passing within her captive wall
With no-one to heed her call
The evening hour is fading within the dwindling sun
And in a lonely moment those embers will be gone
And the last of all the young birds flown
Her days of precious freedom, forfeited long before
To live such fruitless years behind a guarded door
But those days will last no more
Tomorrow at this hour she will be far away
Much farther than these islands
Or the lonely Fotheringay
